This is a true poem..It all happend when i was really young.

I'm crying the words that make you smile.
I'm facing the pain that's worth you're while.
I'm stumbling up the stairs, but being dragged back down.
I'm crying in fear, but you laugh at my frown.

Mommy doesn't know, what you have done.
excuse after excuse, one by one.
marks all over, of purple black and blue.
Why does daddy hate me, what did i do.

I can't tell mommy because of a threat.
scars all over, i cannot forget.
I try to make my way up the stairs, i feel my feet leave the ground.
my head hitting the steps is the only sound.
being dragged by my hair, tears falling more.
stabbing him with a pen, then heading for the door.

Mommy comes home, daddy's back is red.
Your grounded she yells, now go to your bed.
I'm crying in pain.
The world is dark.
tomorrow's going to be the same.
With a brand new mark.
